From 97ebbfe445cd695250ff0ede4fa6e9e5257e2221 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haren Myneni Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:29:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv/vas: Release reference to tgid during window close commit 91cdbb955aa94ee0841af4685be40937345d29b8 upstream. The kernel handles the NX fault by updating CSB or sending signal to process. In multithread applications, children can open VAS windows and can exit without closing them. But the parent can continue to send NX requests with these windows. To prevent pid reuse, reference will be taken on pid and tgid when the window is opened and release them during window close. The current code is not releasing the tgid reference which can cause pid leak and this patch fixes the issue.
